Oregon Coast

What a day on the Oregon Coast! After Crater Lake we stopped in Eugene to get new tires and got talked into (very hard) going to the coast just one more day. The weather forecast did not seem hopeful with 70 percent chance of rain, but we went anyways. We had beautiful blue skies till late in the afternoon, then spotty showers came and went. We drove about one hundred miles between Florence and Newport, which is where we stayed the night with our friend, Dannielle. What a great beach you have Dannielle (better than Tom's ;)!

What are we doing now?

Trekking up to the top of North America...

It has been a long time coming and we are super excited just to have the opportunity to be on the grandest mountain we have ever seen, Denali. It is quite the journey to the top and only 50% of people who attempt it will actually make it to the top. And we know that it is not all about the summit, but that is definitely the icing on the cake! The journey up the snowy slopes will be pretty satisfying in itself.
